Resources for Early-Career Researchers

Securing funding is one of the most challenging and time-intensive aspects of an academic career. To help streamline the search process, I have curated a collection of grants, fellowships, travel awards, and professional development opportunities from scientific societies, foundations, universities, government agencies, and other funding organizations.

These resources are freely available to support graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and other early-career scientists. I update the collections periodically; however, funding opportunities, eligibility requirements, deadlines, and award amounts may change over time. Please refer to the official program website for the most current and accurate information before applying.

Current Collections

• Graduate Student Grants and Fellowships — Curated and maintained by Prothama ("Pro") Manna.

• Postdoctoral Funding Opportunities and Job Boards — Originally compiled by Dieter Lukas and shared with permission. This resource is hosted here to increase accessibility for the research community, with full credit to the original compiler.

If you notice an outdated link, a change in a funding program, or would like to suggest an opportunity to include, please feel free to get in touch. Community contributions are always welcome and help keep these resources current and useful for everyone.
